Pick a pine tree from the lot slim and tall, or short and squat! Long straight limbs or branches bent... Mmm! Just smell that piney scent!

From the winner of the V&A Best Illustrated Book 2017 From Alan’s Big, Scary Teeth creator, Jarvis, and author Patricia Toht, comes a beautiful, irresistible Christmas gift book that all begins with … picking a pine tree!

Brimming over with the excitement of being with family at the festive season, a gorgeously rhythmical, read-aloud narrative accompanied by warm, joyful art celebrates all the familiar rituals of decorating the tree – from digging out jam-packed boxes of trimmings, stringing tinsel, to, at last, turning on those twinkly fairy lights.

  • A Christmas gift of a book to be brought out and re-read every year.
  • Jarvis painted the window of the Tate Modern Turbine bookshop over Christmas 2017, with art inspired by this book.
  • Jarvis' Alan's Big, Scary Teeth was the winner of the V&A Best Illustrated Book 2017, chosen for Booktrust's 2016/17 Bookstart Treasure Pack (gifted to 750,000 pre-schoolers) and has been translated into 11 languages worldwide.

Jarvis

Jarvis lives in a very leafy and quiet part of Northern England with his girlfriend (who tells him what's good/bad and pretty much gives him most of his ideas) and their cat, who rips those ideas into tiny pieces.

He has always doodled wherever his career has taken him, from graphic design student to record sleeve designer to animation director. The way that he works always begins in a sketchbook with pencil.

From there it evolves into charcoal, photoshop brushes, pencil crayon or paint to finish the look. He uses many programmes, but the main ones are Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Who Is Happy? is one of his first picture books.
